The evil empire is a book in which you enter right away, a dive into the abyss, which sometimes resembles the books of Ken Follet, tinted by Gaston Leroux and James Bond, a strange mix! The thriller involves all states, in the polar historical novel by making a detour to science fiction, almost, but you never lose it, and if the book is long, it is only tastier. I read there has 15 years now, and I still remember it very well - and do not make the mistake of reading the last page, the last sentence is a punch in the stomach, effect guaranteed!
